London Green: The Voice of Hope In CHH
In this episode of Holy Culture’s Artist Spotlight, J. Harrington sits down with London Green. London Green, known off-stage as Maya, is a dynamic individual who juggles multiple roles as a mom, autism advocate, and mental health professional. Her journey into Christian hip hop (CHH) began unexpectedly, as she discovered a genre that resonated with her renewed faith and desire to share her testimony. “I always knew who Jesus was. I was lost, and now I’m found, and I’m back home,” she shares, reflecting on her spiritual journey.
The Birth of a Musical Journey
Music became a therapeutic outlet for London, allowing her to express her faith and experiences. Her first song coincided with her first day of work in mental health, marking a significant turning point. “I felt a release. I was finally able to use my voice,” she recalls. Despite initial challenges, London remains committed to her mission of uplifting others through her music and advocacy.
Joy and Positivity in Music
London’s infectious joy and energy are evident in her music and social media presence. “I don’t like feeling sad. I don’t like being upset because when I am, I am,” she admits, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive outlook. Her latest project, “Huh, What?” captures this spirit, encouraging listeners to shake off doubt and confusion.
Balancing Life’s Demands
Balancing her professional, personal, and artistic life is no small feat, but London credits her faith and organizational skills for keeping her grounded. “Scheduling, planning, routines, and letting God do the rest,” she advises. Her ability to manage these aspects of her life is a testament to her dedication and resilience.
Advocacy and Impact
London’s work extends beyond music, as she is deeply involved in mental health and autism advocacy. She believes in the power of sharing her experiences to help others. “I’ve gone through a lot of different things, trauma, addiction myself. So that’s how I got into it,” she explains. Her advocacy is an integral part of her ministry, aiming to raise awareness and support for those in need.
Patience and Divine Timing
As London continues to create and inspire, she remains patient and intentional with her releases, trusting in divine timing. “I do like taking my time now. I do. Because I feel like I get to think clearly, really put it out and just take my time,” she reflects. Her journey is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the transformative impact of music.
Conclusion
London Green’s story is one of faith, resilience, and the transformative power of music. Her journey is a testament to the impact of staying true to one’s calling and the importance of uplifting others through art and advocacy.
